Marche, Administrative region in central Italy.
The territory spans across 9,366 square kilometers of hills, mountains, and coastal areas along the Adriatic Sea, divided into five distinct provinces.
The region gained its name from the medieval term 'marca', designating border territories within the Holy Roman Empire during the 10th century.
Each province maintains individual traditions in craftsmanship, from musical instrument making in Castelfidardo to pottery production in Ascoli Piceno.
The regional capital Ancona connects multiple transportation networks through its international airport, seaport, and railway junction serving central Italy.
The Frasassi Caves in Genga contain one of Europe's largest cave networks, extending over 30 kilometers of underground limestone formations.
